It sounds very suspicious! How do they expect you to contact them? |

If your name or company name and address is not in this mail and if they don't have a phone number you can trace back to this comp. Forget it. The amount of scam mails we get daily here is breath taking. If it's for real they'll come back to you. |

I’m talking postal mail! So they got the company details down, with a parcel number..... There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Sorry missed that. Sounds a smart scam. Be careful, my creditcard was blocked two weeks ago because it was used 3x in Mexico. That did not fit in with the daily routines, so they blocked my card. We are so careful with our cards and never give numbers through the web (always paypal or the likes) and still someone got my numbers in mexico.???

Are they suggesting cash on delivery? If the number is a normal landline number have you tried calling it? John 2008 Stornoway Grey 3.6 Tdv8 Vogue 2005 TD6 Java Black Vogue - Written off!!

The number you call to rearrange delivery is probably a premium rate number leaving you with a large bill. I seem to recall hearing of this scam a while back , particularly around Christmas time where a lot of parcels are sent, you call the number provided and hey presto that call costs +£300 |
